SUMMARY:Vow Icons for Daigoji: Imperial Guardians on a Sacred Mountaintop
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 31\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Rachel Quist\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University\nVirtual Event \n  \nIn 907\, a group of eight Buddhist icons was commissioned for Daigoji\, a temple atop Mount Kasatori in Kyoto\, following an imperial decree from Emperor Daigo. This lecture examines how these sculptures—a triad of the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) with two attendants and a pentad of the Five Great Wisdom Kings (Godai Myōō)—functioned as agents of ritual protection for the emperor\, drawing on longstanding ties between these deities\, sacred mountains\, and healing waters. Drawing on temple records\, ritual precedents\, and imperial diaries\, Dr. Rachel Quist explores how Daigo’s bond with Daigoji shaped both his legacy and the political-religious landscape of his reign. \nSpeaker bio: Dr. Rachel Quist is an Assistant Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University\, whose research focuses on Japanese Buddhist visual culture. She investigates the interactions between Buddhist icons\, their worshipers\, and their natural environs. Her first manuscript project examines visual culture at Daigoji\, illuminating the centrality of sculptural icons within the complex interplay of medicinal rituals\, imperial politics\, and the cosmic worldview of premodern Japan. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link via confirmation email with instructions once you secure your place.\n \nSave my spot!\n  \nSponsored by the Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Yakushi Nyorai triad (detail)\, Daigoji Reihōkan Museum\, Daigoji\, Kyoto

SUMMARY:Envisioning the Empress: Images of Japanese Imperial Women
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 28\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\nVirtual Event \n  \nJoin the Asian Arts Council on an exploration of the public images of Japanese empresses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on research completed for her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952\, Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\, will introduce and analyze the public images of the modern Japanese empresses\, discussing how visual culture elevated the women as celebrity role models. As imperial images were a completely new invention in the second half of the 19th century\, this talk will discuss the varied influences on the woodblock prints\, lithographs\, and photographs of the empresses\, and how they worked to establish the women as individuals\, but also timeless in the public eye. \nSpeaker Bio: Alison J. Miller\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\, is a specialist in modern and contemporary Japanese art history\, focusing on two-dimensional media\, gender\, and the imperial family. She has published in the Journal of Japanese Studies\, TransAsia Photography Review\, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (ADVA)\, and various public humanities projects and museum catalogues. She is co-editor and contributing author for The Visual Culture of Meiji Japan: Negotiating the Transition to Modernity (Routledge\, 2021) and Transposed Memory: Visual Sites of National Recollection in 20th and 21st Century East Asia (Brill\, 2024). Her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952 (Routledge\, 2025) analyzes the social impact of the images of the modern Japanese empresses. Miller received her PhD from the University of Kansas and has taught at Bowdoin College and the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work has been funded by a Fulbright Fellowship\, Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship\, Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellowship\, Appalachian College Association Faculty Fellowship\, and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship\, among others. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link.
